I lean left but it’s open season to criticize them all. I’m not the overly nice Canadian you were promised but I make up for it with dog content 🐾

Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements. Escalate to break imperialist consensus

The hospitals are Hamas The civilians seeking aid are Hamas The orphaned children are Hamas The clearly identified journalists are Hamas The cameras that will continue to reveal the war crimes are Hamas

It's antisemitic blood libel to say Israel would bomb a hospital, unless there's proof Israel did bomb the hospital in which case the hospital was Hamas, unless nobody buys that the hospital was Hamas in which case it was a tragic accident and Israel is looking into it.

Israel bombed a hospital. Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded. Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV. Read that again. Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Canada has to put in real sanctions. 83% of people killed are civilians, mostly children. Starvation and famine across Gaza. 200 journalists killed. Bombing hospitals and then bombing the rescuers. Expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank. This has to stop. We have to do more.

Israel is committing war crimes on live stream and the Liberals are refusing to act It is already far too late but at this point anything less than severe sanctions and an arms embargo makes us complicit in this genocide

To clarify for those who are unsure, everyone who earns taxable income is eligible for the Liberal tax cut. The 1% reduction applies to tax owing on up to $57,375 . Anything earned above that is taxed at the rate in the next bracket (as usual) but your rate is still reduced for tax on $57,375

I just saw a video where a women said she thinks there should be a knowledge test for people to vote and then went on to imply that if they did that conservatives would have won and I’ll be sure to let you all know when I stop laughing about that

Not only do we have a right to criticize our governments - we have an obligation to. Blind hero worship of ANY political party, ANY elected official is irrational & dangerous. NO party, NO politician, is above reproach. It makes us stronger when we stop excusing bad policy & hold them accountable.

You’d think seeing all the shit going on downstairs…we’d be more cautious? While I am complimentary and hopefully optimistic that PM Carney will steer us in the right direction & I stand by my choice for him as my PM… He still has work to do and the “can do no wrong” attitude is dangerous.

Indeed, the answer to a populist right isn’t an unchecked left. It’s going to be very interesting to see both how MC as a non-career politician will govern outside of current crisis management, as well as how media covers him in that role.

So the old party leader who the party yeeted is now the new party leader and the old party leader who got yeeted by his constituents is trying to get back into Parliament by running in the safest riding in Canada so he can be the new party leader again and the party's newest slogan is "Change"?

Poilievre should never have gotten as close as he did to winning But the support he has isn’t the problem, it’s a symptom We have to identify the cause(s) and cure the disease

A lot of people seem to be relaxing and saying “we have Carney now” and forgetting we have him FOR NOW There will be another election, (probably in a couple of years) and Poilievre will be part of it The only way to win that one is to keep putting in the work

The Conservative Party of Canada doesn’t want Alberta to separate because if they did (they won’t because they can’t) the CPC would lose a large chunk of their relevance as a party on the national stage

We need to write to our Liberal MPs and let them know we don’t want our tax dollars being spent on a by-election for a guy who still refuses to put Canada first and get security clearance
